Hello everyone hope so all of you are doing well.
Today we will talk about beautiful places to visit in Pakistan.Pakistan has not received enough limelight as much as it truly deserves! This country that neighbours India is an evocative mix of culture and nature waiting to be explored. Since travel in Pakistan is often much less heard of compared to India, here’s our pioneering effort to put forward to you some mesmerising destinations that might just get your heart wanting for more.
1: The Karakorum highway
Often called the KKH, the Karakoram Highway is probably the first thing that will come to one’s mind when someone speaks of the Northeastern Pakistan. And why not? Considered to be one of the greatest engineering achievements of the 20th century, with some sources pushing for it to be the eighth wonder of the world, the 805-mile long KKH connects Pakistan with China, running from Abbottabad down to Gilgit-Baltistan that leads up to Kashgar, in the province of Xinjiang in west China.
Sources say that during the 27-year construction period which began in 1959, 810 Pakistani and 200 Chinese workers lost their lives due to landslides and falls while building this highest paved international highway in the world.
The connection between Pakistan and China lies at the Khunjerab Pass at over 15,000 feet. This magnificent road thus earned the nickname of “Friendship Highway” in China.
2 : Gilgit Baltistan
Immensely adored for its geographical landscape that boasts unforgiving scenic beauty, Gilgit-Baltistan is well-loved by mountaineers, trekkers and anglers. You can’t get enough of the valleys in Gilgit-Baltistan! But one of the most highly sought after is the Hunza Valley, which some have called the Shangri-La of Pakistan.
The local atmosphere, topped with jaw-dropping sceneries of mountainous peaks, magnificent forts, a colourful medley of flora, and splendid cuisines, has made Hunza increasingly popular among travellers, who have continuously claimed that the area is actually very safe.
3 : Lahore
Lahore is a wondrous mix of cultural, artistic and heritage-filled attractions that boast the legacies of the Mughal Empire and the British Raj, enchanting gardens, parks, and forts, majestic mosques, and scrumptious food. A couple of days at Lahore may not suffice to explore this beloved city.
There are tons to see — from the beautiful Shahi Qila or Lahore Fort, historic Minar-e-Pakistan and the captivating scenery of the Shalimar Gardens to the shopping spaces of Anarkali Bazaar, Liberty Market and the Mall of Lahore. You should also pay a visit to the mosques in Lahore — they have been beautifully and elegantly constructed with charming architecture. Oh, and how could we forget the multitude of restaurants on Food Street and M M Alam Road for you to satisfy your appetite.
4 : Islamabad
Pakistan’s capital Islamabad is a peaceful city surrounded by calming scenery, and it is no wonder that it has been travellers’ favourite after Lahore. One of the most sought-after location is the Faisal Mosque, with its splendid whitewashed facade and four minarets towering over you. Located on the foothills of Margalla Hills, which itself is popular among hikers, the mosque is, in fact, a gift from Saudi Arabia for the people of Pakistan, and is the largest mosque in the country.
do walk up to Daman-e-Koh, from which you can view the landscape of the capital city. Try this in the evening for a spectacular night view! There are also great museums to visit, such as the Lok Virsa Museum if you are interested in learning more about the culture and heritage of the different groups of people in Pakistan. From here, you can take a five-minute drive up the road to catch a glimpse of the blooming-flower structure of the Pakistan Monument. It symbolises the country’s provinces — Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa — in four petals while the three smaller petals represent its three territories, namely Gilgit-Baltistan, Azad Kashmir and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas
5 : Karachi
Despite Karachi losing its crown as the capital of Pakistan, it still remains the largest and most populated city of the country, and also its economic heartbeat. With this, Karachi has become one of the most cosmopolitan cities of Pakistan, home to large numbers of ethnic Sindhis, Punjabis, Pashtuns and other nationalities.
Karachi is one place where you can see the love and admiration of Pakistan’s founder, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, in many landmarks, monuments and buildings, such as the Quaid-e-Azam Museum, the Quaid-e-Azam Mausoleum, the Wazir Mansion (the founder’s birthplace) and the Bagh-e-Jinnah, also known as the Frere Hall Garden.
Apart from that, you can also visit the State Bank Museum, National Museum of Pakistan and the Pakistan Air Force Museum. For those looking for some entertainment, you can hang out at the Port Grand where you can enjoy a great variety of food and drinks from the many restaurants available. You can also enjoy the view of the 19th century Native Jetty Bridge and the Karachi Harbour.
